He has got Lee Brown's book, `National Drug Control Strategy.' And of course Lee's office was gutted by Clinton.
He has Califano's book, `The Triumph and Tragedy of Lyndon Johnson.' So he goes way far afield there, but has got `Clinton Confidential.' He has got Hillary's `It Takes A village.'
He goes way back to one of my school heroes, Alexis de Tocqueville . Remember that quote.
New chairman in the chair, once a marine, always a marine.
Remember Alexis de Tocqueville 's most famous quote: `As long as America is good, she will be great. When America has ceased being good, she will cease being great.'
Then he has DeLoach's book on Hoover. Elizabeth Drew's book is not here. I have got to get it. She is excellent, a fair liberal, hard to find. Not sounding so liberal lately. Her book is called `On The Edge.' Clinton always on the razor's edge. Simon & Schuster. It has been out 2 years. How did I miss that? I am busy, Elizabeth. I am a double chairman, intelligence, military personnel, conference committee.
He says, the FBI agent, one of the better books on Clinton--my gosh, I am running out of time.
Tip O'Neill's book here, `Man Of The House,' great book. He has got `The Ruling Class,' Regnery, favorite publishing house, 1993. `The Dysfunctional President.' Now there is a title that is pushing rule XVIII. One of the possible explanations for Bill Clinton's aberrant behavior, by Paul Flick. I never heard of it.
He has got a book I do not recommend because it is semipornography, `Passion and Betrayal.' Gennifer Flowers.
The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Petri). Remarks in debate may include criticisms of the President's official actions or policies, they may not include criticism on a personal level.
The gentleman may proceed.
Mr. DORNAN. Mr. Speaker, I understand.
The title of the book was `The Dysfunctional President.' I never heard of it. That could mean politically dysfunctional. I read the subtitle. I accept that because it discussed behavior. Gennifer Flowers.
I had a discussion with the Parliamentarians here whether I could ever say her name on the floor. I disagree with him so let us try this. Emery Dalton books, do not read it, it is stupid. It comes under the heading--I cannot read the subtitle because it involves cocaine. But Gennifer Flowers wrote a book called `Passion and Betrayal.' Tough, she deserved to be betrayed.
Now, here is one, `The Sixties: Years of Hope, Days of Rage.' That is a book from the 1980's, Bantam, captures the essence of the new left. That is a fabulous book that I have read. `The Sixties: Years of Hope, Days of Rage.' But it is about 80 percent puffery; 20 percent lets you know the modus operandi of people who were stoned most of the time.
The Glazers, husband and wife, Myron and Penina, `Whistleblowers: Exposing Corruption In Government and Industry.' Well, that is bipartisan. That takes place everywhere.
`Reporting the Counterculture,' Richard Goldstein. Sounds good.
I know the next one is good, Mr. Speaker, `The Federalist Papers,' by Alexander Hamilton. James Madison. We finally passed his 27th amendment that we cannot give ourselves pay raises while we are sitting here. I do not think we deserve pay raises for a long time to come, sitting or even in the next Congress. John Jay, great Justice, `In Defense of Elitism.' That does not sound like a good title. A good pocketbook on American society from a liberal perspective. `In Defense of Elitism.'
Elitism stinks. In the Republican Party it is called country clubism. In that party it is called limousine liberalism. Pass on it.
Al Gore, `His Life and Career.' A puff piece written by a former FBI agent. It might be good.
Alice had a great career, we are classmates, 1976.
`Hill Rats,' this was by one of our staffers. Great depiction of shenanigans at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue. Fair enough. `Hill Rats.' I am not calling it the Hill anymore.
I have got a bumper sticker on the back of my window, my Bronco sitting out there, I own a Bronco. I have owned three of them 10 years before double-throat-slashing O.J. Simpson. I got a big sticker, Mr. Speaker, on the back window.
